What are the best pet-safe climbing plants for full sun?
Some great options for sunny spots include Clematis, Dipladenia, and Passionflower. These plants love sunlight and are non-toxic to pets when grown outdoors.
What’s the difference between climbing and trailing plants?
Climbing plants grow upward with the help of support, while trailing plants spill over edges and grow downward. Some plants, like Sweet Pea, can be trained to do either, depending on how you guide them.
How can I train my climbing plants to grow vertically?
Use trellises, arbors, or wall-mounted supports. Gently tie soft stems with garden twine and guide them as they grow. Plants like Boston Ivy and Climbing Hydrangea will attach themselves naturally.
